Thomas Bulfinch
- Bulfinch's Mythology
Venus (Aphrodite), the goddess of love and beauty, was the daughter of Jupiter and Dione. Others say that Venus sprang from the foam of the sea. The zephyr wafted her along the waves to the Isle of Cyprus, where she was received and attired by the Seasons, and then led to the assembly of the gods. All were charmed with her beauty, and each one demanded her for his wife. Jupiter gave her to Vulcan, in gratitude for the service he had rendered in forging thunderbolts.

I love documentaries so much. I love animals. But I think we need to stop making documentaries about the bottom of the ocean. I don't want to see what's happening there. It's gross. Every creature there looks like a first draft. Ewww. We need to stop going to the bottom of the ocean. Unless you're a billionaire and you're watching this. Keep going to the bottom of the ocean.

- The Art of Peace
The Art of Peace that I practice has room for each of the world's eight million gods, and I cooperate with them all. The God of Peace is very great and enjoins all that is divine and enlightened in every land.

- Debits to the left
One of the basic principles of accounting is that debits go to the left, and credits go to the right. This is the first step in understanding the accounting process. Every debit has a corresponding credit, and vice versa.
Robert Louis Stevenson
- Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
What he told me in the next hour, I cannot bring my mind to set on paper. I saw what I saw, I heard what I heard, and my soul sickened at it; and yet now when that sight has faded from my eyes, I ask myself if I believe it, and I cannot answer. My life is shaken to its roots; sleep has left me; the deadliest terror sits by me at all hours of the day and night; and I feel that my days are numbered, and that I must die; and yet I shall die incredulous.

- Your Husband
When you make dinner and it comes time to serve your household, who gets served first? In my opinion, my husband gets served before my children. I have a few key points to share on this: 1. Showing your children patience is important in raising them correctly and telling someone to jump, doesn't mean they will jump. 2. My children will eventually move out and start their own lives. If I do not put my marriage as a priority, what will we have when the children are gone?

- Puss in Boots' second verse on his rap battle against The Cat in the Hat
Life is a journey and death is a given, the pages are turned as our stories are written. Your legacy's tethered to Seuss's estate and defaced by the hatred he paved in his place. It has been a lifetime since the Doctor was in and his racism tainted the pages he penned as he propped propaganda art for armed citizens; death of the author caught the dog whistling! Fight me if you must, flee me if you're scared, face me if you can, fear me if you dare! I'm dropping the mic, now, pick it up.

Do you often dream about a post-holocaust world in which you are top caveman? Do you instinctively imitate dialects and mannerisms when describing a scene? Do you feel you "march to the beat of a drunken drummer?" Does everything always take twice as long and cost twice as much as you thought it would? Do you sometimes smash your finger when using a hammer? Does everything seem a little unreal to you?

In this world, concrete flowers grow. Heartache, she only doing what she know. Weekends, get it popping on the low, better days coming for sure. If it was up to me I wouldn't give these nobodies no sympathy, I'd take away the pain, I'd give you everything.

Hello user, I have made this quote to talk about a quote I found. it was telling about bullying is bad, and if you are getting bullied just ignore it, guess what? it had 2 star rating. So if somebody is a bully victim, let me tell you something. Fight back, as hard as you can. Snitch on those morons and call the police on them, make them suffer and their parents pay. We humans by nature will never understand the pain we inflict until we suffer that same or a pain higher than that. Stay strong.

There are many things in this world that we have to pay attention to. For example, our family can be very important for us because it is the only source of assistance in our need. I know that in some cases friends can be more functional than family, but we only reach the same ground in different situation.
The Chase
So I wanna see you when I fall asleep, and I do but only on the days I dream, so if you'd be so kind as to let me show you how I love allenly, I would be the happiest girl you've seen!

The Alt National Park Service (AltNPS) was a movement that began around the time of the inauguration of President Donald Trump in January 2017. After the Trump administration imposed restrictions on the communications of various federal agencies, including the National Park Service, unofficial "rogue" or "alternative" social media accounts emerged.

In life, what you believe reality to be is rarely what it truly is. Yet, if you possess the maturity to accept both perspectives, you can harness the power of this duality.
C. S. Lewis
- The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe
Edmund was already feeling uncomfortable from having eaten too many sweets, and when he heard that the Lady he had made friends with was a dangerous witch he felt even more uncomfortable. But he still wanted to taste that Turkish Delight again more than he wanted anything else.

- Crying - The Laughing Corpse
Crying was damned unfair in a fight. Once a person started to cry, you couldn't talk anymore. You suddenly just wanted them to stop crying, stop hurting, stop making you feel like the biggest scum-bucket in the world. Anything to stop the tears.

The purpose of studying opening theory should not be accumulating any set amount of knowledge, but being content with whatever knowledge one has. For someone with a natural flair for study, it may be perfect to work on openings all the time. For someone who is much less scientifically minded, even the slightest attempt to study openings may well be superfluous and even detrimental to his game.
Michael Moorcock
- Elric's Insight
He sensed it with the witch-sight of his forefathers before he saw it with his eyes. And he recognised its shape. He, himself, was one of its masters. But this time he had no control over Quaolnargn-he was standing in no pentacle and his only protection was his blade and his wits.
